The Quest

The Baltimore Orioles have been in town since '54 and have had over 900 men don their uniform. My goal is to obtain a signed card of each player. If you have something I need, or see something you want, don't be shy, we can make a deal.

Collection Statistics

Total Players 877/977 = 89.25%
1991 Orioles Crown Set
Total Players 309/465 = 66.45%
Alive Players 274/369 = 74.25

Beating The Odds

I stopped in to my local card shop today for some supplies and decided to snag a few packs.  I hadn't touched any new wax since Topps Series I and needed a fix. 

I normally really like Bowman and the chance to pull some Orioles prospects I need but I wasn't feeling it today.  Heritage didn't call my name either.  2011 Topps Debut tugged me for a second but didn't have the staying power. 

I snagged three packs of Gypsy Queen.  Yep.  A set I don't particularly care for won out over all else.  Why?  No idea.  Maybe the set is growing on me?  Maybe I am clairvoyant.

Kyle Seager Gypsy Queen Autographs #GQA-KS

 Prince Fielder Moonshots #MS-PF
Chris Young Glove Stories #GS-CY
Starlin Castro Sliding Stars #SS-SC

Asdrubal Cabrera Mini Black #15
Eddie Murray Mini #263
Chad Billingsley Mini Gypsy Queen Back #46

I was expecting a lot of garbage in my packs like last year, but I was very pleasantly surprised.  Two mini parallels and an autograph, I can't be too upset.  Although, who the hell is Kyle Seager?

Either way, all the above are available for trade, LMK.  Here are the base cards:
